Humperdinck: Evening Prayer. The opera Hansel and Gretel was composed by Engelbert Humperdinck and first performed in 1893. It’s one of many famous works in the German opera repertoire, often associated with the fairy tale of the same name by the Brothers Grimm. The opera was a huge success right from its debut, and it remains popular today, especially around Christmas, due to its magical themes and rich, beautiful music. The Evening Prayer song from Hansel and Gretel by Engelbert Humperdinck is one of the most beautiful and well-known pieces from the opera. It is sung by Gretel as she and Hansel prepare to sleep in the forest, and it has a soothing, lullaby-like quality. Arranged here for 4 flute, alto and bass flutes.
